Founded in Turin in 1995 by Vittorio Cravanzola, L’Officina dei Giardini is much more than a company. It is an example of world-class Italian excellence, as well as a cultural project and a lifestyle.
Every structure we create—our conservatories, orangeries, pavilions, and pool houses—is born out of an interplay of nature and architecture.
Our philosophy is founded on the five principles of simplicity, transparency, elegance, exclusivity, and reliability. We work to create bright, refined environments where time slows and beauty is a daily experience.
At our 2,000-square-meter workshop in Turin, Italy, our creations take shape in the expert hands of both artisans and technicians, all passionate people who give life to unique, custom-made, and unrepeatable creations. This is true Italian craftsmanship—made of know-how, dedication and design wisdom.
Our founder and creative director, Vittorio Cravanzola gave shape to L’Officina dei Giardini starting from a desire to interpret the architectural traditions of the English and French conservatories, blending art, architecture and engineering.
After his art and sculpture training at secondary school and at the Academy of Fine Arts, he began transforming his personal talent into an entrepreneurial vision. His creations—recognizable by their lightness of form and harmony with their surroundings—are marked by an unmistakable style and profound knowledge. Today, that knowledge has become an example of excellence and renowned skill in building unique spaces that are designed to last.
Behind every creation that bears our name, there are men and women who make excellence their daily vocation. Passionate professionals who love their work and approach it with rigor, wisdom, and care.
L’Officina dei Giardini is first and foremost a vibrant workshop made up of people—skilled artisans, welders, painters, and installers. They are all supported by our technical office of planners and designers, who give shape to dreams, and by our commercial staff—encompassing administration, sales, purchasing, and marketing—who listen, guide, and build relationships. Together, we make each and every project possible.
The added value we bring to the world stems from the synergy of diverse skills, a shared passion, and the talent of our people. Because, more than a structure in glass and steel, a conservatory is a story told by many voices.
All the metals we use go through five processing stages within a certified, guaranteed procedure for extreme environments. From sandblasting and galvanizing to two-component epoxy primer and two-coat polyurethane paint, we provide the most accredited protection techniques for maximum results.
Our glass has all the necessary characteristics to ensure comfort in any climate, all year round, anywhere in the world, whether laminated, tempered, with low-emissivity, with thermal or acoustic insulation, extra-clear, artfully decorated, or sandblasted.
The exclusively designed OdG Evolution thermal-break profiles offer high energy performance while ensuring a refined aesthetic. Every detail, from carpentry to ornamentation, is treated with artisanal rigor and engineering precision.
The quality of our work is certified. At L’Officina dei Giardini, we guarantee compliance with the highest European and international standards in terms of structural integrity, energy performance, acoustic performance, air/water/wind-tightness, salt-spray resistance, material traceability, and safety.
Each structure is accompanied by specific certifications as required by law, and additional certifications are available upon request. This rigorous approach sets us apart in the marketplace and enables us to carry out complex works, even in extreme climate conditions, with assurances of high performance and long duration.
Acoustic insulation is backed by INRIM Acoustic Certification for sound abatement.
In 2020, L’Officina dei Giardini earned certification in compliance with the European EQF 4 training framework by Certi.s, which certifies our knowledge, skill, and competencies in window and door installation systems based on UNI 11673-2 standards.
